The Bumble Love Chalet is a temporary hospitality installation designed by Studio Coco Greenblum for Bumble's seasonal programming in Aspen. Created within a three-week timeline, the project accommodates post-ski gatherings, retail, wellness, beauty and content creation while drawing on the atmosphere of a collected mountain residence rather than a conventional branded activation. Architectural yellow accents unify the interior, while vintage furnishings, Murano lighting, French and European antiques, Nordic Knots rugs and textured materials establish a warm residential setting.
The installation avoids traditional chalet motifs in favour of understated references to Aspen through colour, material selection and spatial planning. Repeated architectural details connect a series of long, narrow rooms, allowing each area to maintain its own function while sharing a consistent visual language. Custom neon installations and a photography room featuring a dripping honey motif introduce experiential elements without dominating the environment.
